Be it known that we, EDWARD H. BRENNER*- an'd ISAAC L. HIGGINS, citizens of' the United States, residing at Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotatable Liquor-Coolers; and we do hereby declare the followin to be a full, clear, and exact description of t e invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference einghad to the accompanying dra-wings, and tothe letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements inl liquor coolers and especially in the provision of a rotary cooler and comprises various details of construction, combinations and arranvements of arts which will be hereinafter iully describe and then specilically defined in the appended claims. l

We illustrate our' invention in the accompanying drawines which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this agp jlication and in which A igure l is a .perspective View of the apparatas.` Fig; 2 is a vertical ,central sectional view. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view on line 3-`3 of Fig. 2. Fi 4.1 is across sectional View on line 4-42 o Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a detail perspective View.

Reference now being had tothe details of the drawings by letter, A designates a standard' having a post A with a reinforced con'- ical portions-A2;

B desi tacle divided by' the radiali partitions B into al series'of compartments D. E desi' ates a cylindrical chamb'ered portionof sai rece tacle from the' outer surface of whicls said4 partitions radiate. G designates an outer receptacle which is similar in vshape to said partitioned receptacle' and a slight spaceI G ntervenes between the two receptacles and. in which any suitable packing, sachas mi-nv eral Woolor' other suitable packing',l may be placed.` Each ofsaid compartments has an" esi-s operai-ng H which is in registration with an opening H in the outer'receptacle' and 1 designates a spigot m* faucet of any*y form 'stes a cylindrical outlined rec'epwhich passes through ma registering am'.

tures,A one faucet being provided for each compartment and provided with suitably packed joints about the' marginal' edges e! said aperture. A. spindle' K projects fremths lower portion of the outer compartment and telescopes within said standard'. Said spinv dle has acollar K at the upper end thereof? which rests upon the upper end ofthe standard, the parts being so arranged that the receptacle may rotate readily upon the latter. N desiffnates' a disk having a: centrale o ening an has a' diameter` equal to the diameter of said receptacle B with which it? is in registration, and sl funnel N is positioned in each of theA perforations of sudf disk and eaclr funnel opens into ai compartment of said receptacle." Said disk is a a ed to be supported by the radial partitions within said receptacle and its cuter edge is provided with a iange N2.

An ice containing receptacle, designated -by letter O, is provided' which has' a' cylindrieal projection 0" at its lower endl ada ed to be seated within the receptacle E a the' circumference osaid ice receptacle is tinted, hafving vertical ooves- Q- eacla ada ted for the rec tionl o an inverted bott e E, as shown ejearly' in Fig. 1 of the draiwi Resilient ngers P are fastened to the' circumferen'ce of said tinted receptacle and are adapted to frictionally engage and hold bottles in the positions shown in Fig. l! of the drawi'n s, in whichpositions theends of the necks 0% the bottles are positioned within a tunnel, thereby ali'ording means' whereby the contents of the bottles may drain into the' ree t'acl'e beneath. Said receptacle 0 is provid with a closure 0, and S designates a c y'li-ndricatl shell with an ncpen botto m preferably of glass', a' Y' is adapt' ing said shell. 'ln order that the water, as Y it melts from the ice compartment,`may escape, we have provided a tube T which is fastened to the bottom of the cylindrical extension of the ice receptacle and is designed to pass through the bottom of the receptacle() and a suitable faucet or valve L is mounted upon said tube T at a convenient location where it may be operated to allow thewater to be drawn off. Said faucet or valve has threaded connection with the end of the tube T and a gasket L is preferably interposed between the valve. and tube to, provide a water-tight connection.

From the foregoing, it will be noted that, by the provision of an apparatus as shown and described, a simple and efficient means is afforded whereby any liquid may be kept cool and conveniently dispensed from any one of the compartments in which the liquid is fed from the inverted bottles as shown and described.

What we claim to benew is l1. A rotary liquid cooler comprising a standard, a receptacle swiveled thereon and provided with a series of compartments, a

valve exit pipe leading from each compart-v ment, a disk resting upon said receptacle andhaving a series of funnels positioned in openings therein, an ice receptacle resting upon said disk, means for holding the bottles against the outer surface of said ice receptacle with the ends of the necks of the bottles in said funnels, and a shell fitted lover said ice receptacle and bottles and resting upon said disk, as set forth.

2. A rotary liquid` cooler comprising a standard, a receptacle swiveled thereon and provided with a series of compartments, a valve exit pipe leadingfrom each compartment, a disk resting upon said receptacle and having a series of funnels positioned in openings therein, an ice receptacle restin upon said disk and provided with a flute circumference adapted to receive inverted bottles, the necks of which are lpositioned tened to the circumference of said ice receptacle intermediate thelongitudinal grooves and adapted' to hold an inverted bottle in veach groove, the ends of the necks of the bottles'being adapted to be positioned in said funnels, as set forth. 1 v t 4. A rotary liquid cooler comprising `a standard, a receptacle having a central cylindrical portion with atseries of compartments about the same, a spigot communicating'with each compartment, a disk resting upon said receptacle and provided with a central opening registering with the central opening in said receptacle and provided with a series of apertures, funnels leading `from said apertures and positioned one in each of said compartments, an ice receptacle having a fluted circumference .for the reception of bottles, a cylindrical extension at the bottom thereof ada ted to` engage the opening in said disk an central cylindrical, c

amber of said receptacle, resilient fingers fastened to the circumference of said ice receptacle and adapted to hold bottles in the standard, a receptacle having a central cyli-ndrical portiony with a series of compart- Y ments about the same, a spigot communieating with each compartment, a disk resting upon said receptacle and provided Vwith a central opening registering with the central opening in said receptacle and provided with a series of apertures, funnels leading from said apertures and positioned one in each of said compartments, the periphery of said disk having an upwardl turned flange, an

, ice receptacle havmga uted circumference ottl for the rece tion of es, means for holding the bott es in the grooves of the circumference of the ice receptacle, a cylindrical extension at the bottom of said ice rece ltacle fitting in the opening in said disk an central opening in the partition of said receptacle, and a shell fitting over said ice receptacle and bottles held thereto and adapted to engage said fiange of the disk, as set forth.
